The District 16-3A Cross-Country meet was contested last week at Lear Park, hosted by Gladewater, and for the first time in well over a decade, Sabine High School’s boys won’t head to regionals as district champions.

There’s the news from the meet, that Tatum will head to regionals on Tuesday at Grand Prairie’s Lynn Creek Park as champions of both the varsity boys and varsity girls from 16-3A.

Sabine’s boys are going to regionals as a team, after finishing third overall at district.

The top three teams in each category move on to regionals, and of course, the individual qualifiers.

In varsity boys, Tatum finished with 24 points, followed by White Oak (42), Sabine (65), West Rusk (103) and Troup (135), a cross-country district made up entirely of programs in the ETBlitz.com coverage area.
